Abstract

Human (HeLa, Chang liver, L-132, and Intestine 407) and other mammalian (XC, SV3T3, and chick-embryo) cells in tissue culture are at least as sensitive to inhibition by lipophilic acids and nitrite as bacteria. Some of these compounds are the most frequently used antimicrobial food additives. Short-chain fatty acids (up to hexanoate) and parabens induce, at partially inhibitory concentrations, a jagged cell shape in continuous epithelial-like cell lines, such as HeLa, Chang liver, L-132, and Intestine 407. This morphological effect is not mediated or enhanced by butyryl cyclic AMP, which specifically affects fibroblasts.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
